What he said was far too precise and unexpected for her to see it as a coincidence, especially since she had a logical explanation for it; the bond they had between them, 'Lazar feels it too then?' She wondered before turning her head to the driver's seat.
'After all his aura has nothing to do with what it was before we split up, which means that his statistics have drastically increased.' Amandla focused her vision and a silhouette in the shape of Lazar appeared before her eyes, a silhouette so dark that the obscurity around it seemed to be devoured by it; Lazar's 'aura', 'It would be surprising if the bond still had no real effect on him considering that it is directly related to the perception statistic.'
Although Amandla was almost convinced that Lazar was also beginning to feel the influence of the bond between them, she nevertheless thought that he wasn't aware of its existence because he didn't seem to be more disturbed than that, 'He rely a lot on his instinct, he must have thought that it was what made him guess what I wanted to do.'
In any case, if he didn't know, she didn't intend to inform him... at least not immediately. She was assuming that knowing that she had some sort of 'right of oversight' over what was going on in his mind would put him in a very bad mood and she preferred that they focus on the task at hand.
Realizing that she must have been staring at him for a while and hadn't said anything concerning what he had declared, Amandla looked away from Lazar and started hitting her headrest with the back of her scalp as if it was going to make her think of something worth saying at one moment.
At some point, she stopped tormenting her headrest and chose to keep it simple, ”Don't worry, I'm back to my normal state. Crap like that won't happen again.”
”Very good.” He answered promptly and without much conviction. Although he believed that Amandla was sincere, he was placing very little value on her words compared to her actions.
Something struck Amandla all of a sudden, ”By the way...” She recalled that Lazar had promised her explanations when they would be in the truck, ”...what exactly have you done tonight?”
”Well...” Lazar took a deep breath, ”...basically I was going to scout around, figure out what kind of monster we were dealing with and theeeen...” He emphasized the last word and didn't continue his sentence to further arouse Amandla's curiosity.
”Aaaaand what?” She asked, getting restless.
Amandla grinned at her turn, ”How did you manage to kill them all?” She asked, implying that she already knew for sure that this was the scenario that had happened and that she was only interested in the details.
A heavy silence settled in the truck and Lazar's smile faded from his face, ”How do you know that?” He asked in a cold voice, staring at Amandla's face in search of the slightest sign of a lie.
Amandla turned to him as well, 'Can she see me?' Lazar wondered since she was strangely looking directly into his white iris, even though the obsurity was supposed to prevent her from seeing him.
